M0NTANA'S LONG WINTER
IMPASSABLE DRIFTS AND TER
EIBLE GOLD.

The Thermometer Fingers for Days in
Succession Between 10 and 40 Dogs.
Below Zero - Cattle Almost Ami
hilated on the Ranges-Fusl Famines
in the Towns.
AssINIBoINE, MONT, Feb. 19.-For
period extending over the past SIX weeks
unprecedented SHOWS, billiards. and gales
OF winds have ragged through the North
ern and Western portions OF Montana,
until mans only safety depends up on his
remaining within the house, and even the
oldest settlers acknowledge that the win
ter is the most severe of any for the las t
ten years. For days in Succession the
thermometer fingered between 10 and 40
dogs. below zero, and during one period
of twenty-four hours registered 81 dogs.
below zero. The main range OF the
Rockies has along its entire length
through Montana from two to six feet of
snow, and there is an average depth OF
twenty inches on the prairies.
IMPASSABLE DRIFTS.
Drifts have formed upon the cattle
ranges in Corcles and along the stage
routes to remarkable depth, and the
surface OF the snow is covered with crust
too thick for cattle to break in order that
they may reach grass. Stock OF all kinds
is suffering in the most fearful manner,
and while some OF the cattle men esti-
mate the probable loss at % per cent, a
majority claim to have quit figuring on
the losses now, and will be thankful If
they have enough left to start anew in
the spring. Hay is very scarce and nat
urally In great demand, as high as $50
per ton being paid with alacrity.
THE COACH LINES.
The various mail coach lines have been
the greatest sufferers by impossible
roads, delay OF the mails and the mortality
among their stock. The Helena and
Benton State Company alone have lost
thirty head of horses since Christmas.
Should prolonged chinook warm wind
set in now there would be a sudden break
up OF the Missouri river from Benton
down, causing tremendous gorges and an
immense amount of destruction. AT all
events there will be big river and long
season OF navigation the coming summer.
FUEL FAMINE.
The great and continued cold weather
has caused in many places a serious fuel
famine. At this place, where thousands
of cords OF wood are consumed annually,
the supply contracted for to last the fiscal
year ending June 30, it is nearly ex-
udusJeu,a ana IL Will De Impossible 10 secure
more at the present time. In the town of
Fort Benton the question of fuel is be-
coming most serious, especially to the
poorer classes, who are unable to pay
the eXorOitant prices demanded. In
ferior cottonwood is easily sold at $14 a
cord, and ranchmen living along the
Teton bring in green willow poles and
dispose of them at from ST TO $l2 a load.
The last train of wagons loaded with
merchandise was over thirty days reach
ing Benton from Helena, 100 miles.

KRLEGER.-Died, Feb 10. 1887, in the 47th
year of her age, Mrs. ELIZABETH kRIEGER,
wife of August krieger. sad indeed was her
departure. For thirty long years she was a
true and devoted wife. and spared no pains to
make her husbands life paradise on earth.
As a true and noble wife she shared all his
trials and troubles, and was also a source of
consolation to HIM IN his Affections. But, alas
she has gone TO return no more. Words DO
not express the devotion, love and maternal
affection she bestowed upon those nearest and
dearest TO her.
Dear children weep and lament with you
by the loss of such a Christian mother. There
WILDE no one to replace her tender care and
affection.
She was also kind and loving sister. In
times of temptation she was at your side, ad-
vising you. cohsoling you in your troubles and
sharing your affections. Her lie was replete
with I'll the good and noble qualities that are
characi eristic of true Christian. She was
quiet, gentle and affectionate in her inter
course with everybody; always ready TO give
helping hand to those in need. Yes, we all
have cause to weep over her loss, but sweet
and consoling is the thought that our separa-
ton Will not be forever. Sne has been called
to her reward in heaven: hoping that we
shall meet her there, never to be separated
again, where sorrows are unknown, where
Joys are everlasting, ANXIOUS.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 19.-There are

with the Greenbackers, is among the
early arrivals. Local delegates are care

tion. Individual Knights may attend
as delegates, but they will have no au-
thority from the order, and their action
will in no wise bind the order. The con-
ference is to be made up of individuals
representing various interests, but is not
to be controlled by any one interest. All
the delegates here are hopeful that
the session Will be harmonious
and that platform OF principles
will be agreed upon which shall COM
mend Itself 10 public favor. They are
disposed to boot at any idea OF any fac
ton scheming to capture the convention
and guiding IL to suit selfish purposes.
Henry George started from New York to-
night to be present at the convention.
